How Charlotte works
She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, mindfulness and elements of psychodynamic thinking to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try practical alternatives. Hypnotherapy is another option in her toolkit for those interested in guided relaxation and focused suggestion. Charlotte describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She listens first, then offers ways to break problems down into manageable steps. Sessions include talking through current difficulties, testing new coping strategies and reviewing what is working. She trained to the level of NCPS, which is stated as her credential.
Charlotte has four years' experience working with people who are finding life overwhelming or stuck. Her style is respectful, supportive and goal-oriented while still allowing time to process emotions. People who prefer online contact can work with her remotely through video, phone, chat or text messaging.

Online support options
Approaches that suit online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience. The therapist listens closely and helps the person lead the conversation, which is useful for exploring feelings about stress, relationships and self-worth.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It teaches practical skills such as spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which can be practised between sessions to manage anxiety and low mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try methods in session and adjust based on what feels most helpful. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when a quieter line is needed; chat or text can suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options give flexibility for different routines, time zones and comfort levels with being on camera.
